Kansas Senators Back Tobacco Industry in Vote Block
The Kansas senators Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts helped form a coalition that blocked a Senate vote on anti-smoking legislation. Center for Responsive Politics data shows Roberts accepted $22,097 from tobacco interests in 1995-96, with major donors including Philip Morris and UST Inc. Brownback rejects tobacco money, though a tobacco PAC donation of $5,000 earlier was reportedly refused.
